Starting with Firefly, Speedrun the World

However, this Stellaron Hunter was definitely no ordinary person. In particular, his words made it clear that he knew their identities.

Future People!

There were not many people in this world who knew who they were.

Now that things had developed to a point where he could no longer decide alone, Guelorey immediately contacted another high-ranking member of the DGP.

The Game Producer, Nilam!

At this moment, Guelorey had already changed his initial plan. Rather than dealing with him personally, it would be better to use the Goddess's power to settle everything.

After all, the impact that Stellaron Hunter had caused was too great.

Simply making a move would not be enough to resolve it perfectly.

However, to use the Goddess's power, his authority alone was insufficient. He also needed the Game Producer's consent.

This was also the reason why he had hesitated to step in earlier.

Before long, when Guelorey successfully contacted Nilam, the latter was still leisurely enjoying a seafood feast.

After Nilam finished listening to Guelorey's report, he rejected his proposal.

"Why? He has already severely interfered with the progress of the DGP Grand Prix."

Having his proposal rejected by Nilam, Guelorey was displeased and directly questioned him.

"The Goddess's power cannot be used casually. Moreover... even the Goddess's power may not be able to erase his existence."

"He is a reality that should not exist in this world."

Nilam put down the lobster shell in his hand, picked up a nearby towel to wipe his hands and mouth, and replied calmly.

In truth, while he had always been searching for delicious food and reality, he had also taken notice of this Rider who had suddenly appeared and clearly did not belong to the DGP.

However, he soon discovered that he simply could not find this Rider.

He seemed to exist, yet also seemed not to exist!

Extremely mysterious.

Even relying on the Goddess's power might not be enough to affect him.

"What? How is that possible? Even the Goddess's power cannot influence him?"

Guelorey frowned. This was going to be troublesome.

"Though it's hard to believe, that is the fact. He should not be a person from this dimension, so the Goddess will find it difficult to affect him."

Nilam replied thoughtfully. Although there was no evidence, he was about eighty percent sure this was the case.

"Not from this dimension? No wonder."

"Could it be... that he is also from our place?"

Come to think of it, among their audience, there were indeed quite a few restless supporters, so Guelorey had his suspicions.

"That, I do not know. You will have to investigate that yourself."

Nilam shook his head. He was also quite interested.

But he was not in such a hurry to get involved. After all, this was the Game Master's matter; it did not require his intervention yet.

"..."

Guelorey fell silent upon hearing this. It seemed he would have to step in personally after all.

"Stellaron Hunter Sam."

If he appeared again, he absolutely could not let him off, no matter who he was.

Even though he had witnessed the Stellaron Hunter's strength, how could the participating Riders be on the same level as the management?

They, the organizers, held the highest authority.

Nilam ended the communication with Guelorey, tapping his fingers thoughtfully.

"Stellaron Hunter, huh?"

"How interesting. In all my years in this world, this is the first time I've encountered something so amusing."

"I really want to see your reality, to see your outcome. Let's wait and see!"

He was not as worried as Guelorey. The DGP's background was not that simple.

Moreover, although the appearance of this Stellaron Hunter had sparked considerable debate among the audience, one thing was undeniable: the number of viewers was actually increasing significantly.

The ratings had risen a lot.

As for chaos...

The game becoming unplayable?

It was not that serious.

As long as the Goddess remained in the hands of the management, everything was under their control.

Chapter 29: A Decent Harvest

"Waaah, Firefly-chan."

In the room, Nene Arakawa hugged her pillow, looking heartbroken.

She really had misjudged that person. She'd thought he was the perfect knight in her mind, the destined one she was searching for, but not only did he kill Panda, he even attacked her and everyone else.

How hateful! Too hateful!

Don't let her find the person under that mecha, or she'd bite him hard for sure.

But soon Nene Arakawa sighed again. That Stellaron Hunter was so strong, even if she did run into him, she was no match at all!

There was no way to get revenge.

Waaah...

"It's okay, it's over."

Firefly stood beside her, comforting her. Seeing how furious she was, she became even more afraid of revealing her identity.

Though she had actually been very restrained earlier, controlling her strength just right. Unless someone was particularly unlucky and got hurt, almost everyone else was fine.

Especially with the protection of the Kamen Rider form.

For example, wasn't Nene Arakawa perfectly fine right now?

It just looked a bit scary at the time.

As for why she did it—first, to grab some Points rewards, and second, to show off and provoke the DGP operators, to see if they would step in!

After all, all the participants had been wiped out. Wouldn't they act?

The result was a bit disappointing, honestly.

But she had already considered that possibility, so she wasn't too hung up on it. At least she'd gotten a decent amount of Points. It wasn't a wasted trip.

"Who is that guy anyway..."

Nene Arakawa still couldn't figure it out. Stellaron Hunter Sam... even the DGP people didn't know who he was.

Too mysterious. Just as mysterious as Firefly-chan.

Just as mysterious...

No, what was she thinking? How could that cruel bastard have anything to do with sweet, cute Firefly-chan?

"Maybe he's someone from another world?"

Hearing Nene Arakawa's confusion, Firefly gently bit her lip and answered.

"Another world?"

"Why is he in our world, and why is he targeting the Riders? What's his goal?"

Putting down the pillow she was hugging, Nene Arakawa fell into thought, her confusion only growing.

"Maybe he's just targeting the DGP."

"Targeting the DGP? Is he an enemy of the DGP? But he was also fighting the Jyamato!"

At this point, in Nene Arakawa's impression, the DGP was still a mysterious organization that helped people transform into Riders to fight the Jyamato, monsters that destroyed the world.

She had no idea its true identity was just an entertainment show for Future People.

She thought the real enemies should be those evil Jyamato.

"Ah..."

"This... I don't know. I'm just guessing."

Feeling that if she kept talking, she'd completely expose herself, Firefly hesitated and stopped answering.

"Sorry, Firefly-chan! That was rude of me!"

Realizing her mistake, Nene Arakawa understood she'd asked the wrong person. Firefly-chan hadn't been involved in any of this, so how could she know?

She quickly apologized and dropped the topic.

"It's fine."

Shaking her head, Firefly indicated it was nothing.

Then, remembering something, she pulled out her phone, checked the time, and reminded Nene Arakawa.

"Nene, weren't you planning to record a video and update Nene TV? It's getting late."

Though she hadn't been streaming recently, Nene Arakawa hadn't given up on Nene TV's fans. She just couldn't let go.

So she kept updating.

The Runaway Adventure series had stopped, but she was now making other types of videos.

Even though changing the show's format had lost a few followers, most of them still stayed.

"Ah, right! How could I forget something so important!"

Hearing Firefly's reminder, Nene Arakawa snapped to attention and quickly stood up.

"Firefly-chan, I'm going to go record my video first. We can go out together after I'm done."

Finding her equipment, Nene Arakawa hurried to the doorway, making plans with Firefly for after she finished.

Now that she had the Fox Mask, she finally had a sliver of freedom for herself.

As for her family—especially her mother, who kept pressuring her to come home—Nene Arakawa could only push those thoughts aside for now.

Even if she did go back, she could use the Fox Mask to slip out again.

"Okay."

Firefly waved goodbye to Nene Arakawa, watching her leave. Only then did she flop directly onto the sofa and pull out her phone.

She needed to get to work too!

Right now, she was mooching off Nene Arakawa for food and lodging, almost like she was being kept. But she just had to wait until next month—once her income came in, she could escape this predicament.

Looking at the messages on her phone, her submission had already been approved.

Without rushing to start working immediately, Firefly first checked her previous gains.

Even though she hadn't obtained the Vision Launcher, her Points were quite impressive.

(Kills) Cleaned up 2,586 Zombie Jyamato, 7 Mutant Jyamato, 1 Jyamato Embryo Sac. Obtained 1,310 Points.

(Achievement) Defeated Kamen Rider Buffa once. (Based on current strength) Obtained 55 Points.

(Achievement) Defeated Kamen Rider Geats once. (Based on current strength) Obtained 100 Points.

(Achievement) Defeated Kamen Rider Pandra once. (Based on current strength) Obtained 20 Points.
